Internet Of Things

Background

The Internet of Things is growing all around us. From connected cars, to refrigerators, to industrial, consumer, and medical devices, one constant continues to develop: everything is connected to the Internet. 6.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide in 2016, up 30 percent from 2015, and will reach 20.8 billion by 2020. That’s a lot of things.

Challenges

The Internet of Things brings many opportunities, but it isn’t without challenges:

Security - With complex and high-profile hacks announced every day, end-users are increasingly aware of the risks of trusting their data to service providers

Connectivity - Devices often have small form factors and strict power restrictions, making carefully designed and optimized connectivity a key success factor

Scale - IoT offerings must operate at a massive-scale, both in terms of transactional performance and total data managed by the solution

User Experience - Products from industry leaders are showing users what they should expect from the Internet of Things, and a polished user experience can be the difference between wide adoption and a flop

Updates - An unspoken agreement between customers and IoT vendors is that their IoT-enabled devices will continually gain new capabilities and be updated for years to come

Flexibility - Solutions designed today must be flexible to address tomorrow’s problems so that you can stay ahead of the competition
